Gladly we are seeing the decline of sufferers from coronavirus. It is reasonably accurate that it started in China due to the existence of wet markets selling animals for consumption not suitable for humans causing cross infection. In the past, Europe was guilty for feeding processed cow spinal columns to cows that are complete herbivores causing in mad cow disease. We have witnessed the floods and erratic weather, which must compel us to realise global warming is happening.

I do hope people have, like myself, given thought during the six-week lockdown as to how the word population is treating our planet.
